I suppose Blade Runner now falls into the 3's club (sorry 4's club) with the theatrical cut, the International cut, the Directors (rush job) cut, and the Final Cut.

Anyone else no of films that have been released in 3 or more different versions?

Would the "Star Wars Trilogy" (IV, V, VI) count?

I was going to include the Star Wars films in my previous reply but I deleted it all. It's too much of a mine field even if you disregard the Special Editions because there are 2 versions of those as well. Plus episodes 4-6 had slight changes to them in and around their original releases so no, I just didn't want to go there. Any other films with 3 or more versions commercially available (excluding Star Wars) is fine for the purposes of my query.

3 different version of the same film? That must be breaking new ground surely.

And here I was thinking I was clever by picking up both the theatrical and (so called) directors cuts up for 5 quid each.

This is all really tish and fipsy though isn't it? The directors cut was shorter then the theatrical version. It was supposed to be a tighter edit and what, with a little more time to view it objectively, Oliver Sone wanted. By being able to shorten it, he must have believed that it did play too long and now less than a year later he's saying, 'Nah, actually it could do to be another hour and a half longer.'

Still, it's his movie so screw it. Lets be avin' it then. The longer the better.

Then they can release the theatrical onto HD-DVD and wait for fans (sorry fan) of the film to moan about not having the directors cut. Then a few years down the line, the extended cut will be released and fan will still moan at the lack of a true directors cut. Cynical? Moi?

a.) 4more hours you will not get back edition. b.) With footage we found laying around edition. c.) Buy this to show you are not homophobic edition. d.) Rosario Dawson Edition. e.) Stone Edition (with enhanced grassy knoll footage). f.) Trying to make an epic out of a molehill edition.

How can it be bogus if Stone made it? This was a bad, bad movie and I doubt there is anything you can really do to make it a better movie. It started with bad casting and just got worse from there.

so hold on a min...they are releasing an extended cut AFTER releasing a director's cut (meaning the way the director originaly had intended to show in theaters but could not for whatever reasons)? So does this make this release NOT a director's cut but rather just a longer version of the film? I mean because if the director actually wanted this in his film wouldn't he just throw it into his own cut? Man, this is making my head spin.
